This is a great movie, one that I remember really enjoying the first time I ever saw it, and one that has been watched many times in the week since it first came into our home. My daughter loves this movie, and I love watching it too. It has a great story, great animation, and is perfect for a family to watch. Definitely one to share with the children, if you have any, or watch even if you don'... read more

After the huge success of Creature Comforts and Wallace And Gromit, expectations of Chicken Run were exceedingly high! Chicken Run is almost like an animated version of the classic film The Great Escape with the same music and very similar dialogue! I have to say that Chicken Run is one of the smartest and most extraordinary animated films that I think have ever been made! It is a very British fil... read more

A fun film featuring many well-known British voices. And I seem to recall an obscure American in the line up as well (just kidding, Mel).

I'm a big fan of Nick Park's work as I've always been in stop-motion animation. It has a realistic feel that Pixar-style animation has only been able to simulate in the last few years because it's so computationally demanding. I recommend the DVD ... read more

But Ginger and her fellow flock are determined to break out before they meet a "fowl" fate. Time is running out as the greedy owner of the farm, Mrs. Tweedy finds a new way to feather her own nest--turning chickens into chicken pies. Now, with the help of Rocky, "The lone free ranger," the chickens hatch their most spectacular plan to fly the coop in "our story of poultry in motion."... (more)(less)

"First viewing - July 28th
The kiddo actually wanted to go see Minions on this day, but after all my moving-related expenses I decided we should wait a little longer. So instead we watched this together at home.
I thought it was all right...entertaining enough to keep my interest, but nothing exceptional. It's got some funny moments, but few of them made me really laugh heartily which means this just isn't my style of humor overall I suppose. I can't argue that the animation isn't excellent, so"
